Reading Tutor, gt.school - $100,000/year USD

• On-site role in Georgetown (Austin), TX. Relocation assistance available
• $100,000 annual salary, full-time position. Health, dental, and vision coverage from day one
• Must hold a reading certification (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, CERI, LETRS, or equivalent)
  
  

The best way to serve a gifted six-year-old reading at grade level is to refuse to settle for it. If you carry a structured literacy credential and have spent years seeing phonics instruction unlock early readers, consider what unfolds when you deploy those same techniques with children who aren't struggling—they're simply not being challenged. The result isn't incremental improvement. It's 5–10x acceleration.

At gt.school, you finally apply the full scope of your training. No basal readers. No mandated district curriculum map. You'll lead small-group early literacy sessions for gifted 5–8-year-olds, conduct running records, form your own flexible instructional groups, and build each lesson directly from assessment data. Adaptive software manages content delivery. Your role is what no algorithm can replicate: guiding a small group of exceptional children to reach benchmarks they were never expected to meet this year.

100% of your students achieve their adaptive software targets. Over 90% rate you highly in feedback surveys. This is what happens when a certified literacy specialist works with intimate groups of gifted learners without interference. You'll witness first graders who entered at grade level begin consuming chapter books. That's the kind of transformation most literacy professionals spend decades hoping to encounter even once.

If you hold the credential, command phonics methodology, and believe gifted students deserve genuine acceleration—not enrichment disguised as the status quo—apply now.

What You Will Be Doing

• Leading small-group phonics sessions for gifted K–2 learners, with each lesson designed from live student data rather than a scripted program
• Conducting running records, evaluating reading levels, and creating your own differentiated instructional groups
• Delivering 1:1 and small-group motivational coaching using school currency, leaderboards, and personal rapport to inspire ambitious goals in adaptive platforms
• Monitoring live student performance in adaptive learning systems and adjusting instruction as data shifts
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Delivering whole-class lectures. Students advance through self-directed apps, not passive lessons
• Overseeing 25+ students. You support small cohorts of gifted children
• Following a district-mandated pacing calendar or preparing for standardized exams
• Teaching content outside reading and writing (no math, science, or social studies responsibilities)
• Drafting IEPs, attending committee meetings, or managing school district administrative processes
